Exam week is Monday 1 June to Friday 5

June (inc).
All students in Years 7,8,9,10 and 12 will

have examinations in all curriculum
subjects aside from PSHE and PE.
The purpose of the exams is to gain

summative assessment data on students’
understanding & application of key
topics, concepts and skills covered this
year.
These data will then be used to

complement the formative assessment
data subject teachers have gathered
throughout the year so that clear targets
for student growth can be developed and
included in end of year reports.
Data from these examinations will also be

very helpful in guiding appropriate student
placement in any ability groupings we may
need next academic year.

Another supplementary purpose is to provide

valuable practise in examination conditions for
our students.
A separate summary of examination results will

go home with end of year reports and to avoid
confusion with the current assessment
scales, exam performance should be expressed
as %.
With the exception of Art, ICT, Drama and

Music, please plan for ‘paper & pen’ style
examinations – i.e.: a single assessed piece of
work completed in a controlled environment
over a predetermined time period where
expectations of student behaviour are similar
to those we might find in the current IGCSE or
IB exam rooms.
Art, Drama, Music and ICT may require a

‘practical’ test in addition to (or instead of)
paper & pen test. This is fine, so long as it is
conducted under examination conditions and
within the week assigned to end of year exams.
Languages may require a speaking and/or

listening test in addition to the written paper.
This is fine, so long as it is conducted under
examination conditions and within the week
assigned to end of year exams.

All examination papers must be

of good quality (i.e.: word
processed).
Students must be provided with a

revision list by Friday 22 May.
Any problems should be addressed to me
dflint@eisp.cz in the first instance.
Thank you for your help and support with the
examinations.
